Her  evening  sacrifice. 
As  CimisT  upon  the  Cross

Dead  to  herself,  and  dead

Eakly  Morning. 


MOUX  of  morns,  and  day  of  days  ! 
Beauteous  were  thy  new-born  rays: 
Brighter  yet  from  death's  dark  prison' 
Christ,  the  Light  of  lights,  is  risen. 
He  commanded,  and  His  word 
Death  and  the  dread  cha^s  heard 
O  shall  we,  more  deaf  than  they, 
In  the  chains  of  darkness  stay? 
Nature  yet  in  shadow  lies, 
Let  the  sons  of  light  arise 
And  prevent  the  morning  rays 
With  sweet  canticles  of  praise. 
"While  the  dead  world  sleeps  around, 
Let  the  sacred  temples  sound 


'  In  Thv  Light  shall  we  see  li^ht."

Lit  with  holy  light  so  calm. 

Unto  hearts  in  slumber  weak 

Let  the  heavenly  trumpet  speak; 

And  a  newer  walk  express 

Their  new  life  to  righteousness. 

Hear  us.  Lord,  and  with  us  be, 

O  Thou  Fount  of  charity, 

Thou  Who  dost  the  Spirit  give, 

Bidding  the  dead  letter  live. 

Glory  to  the  Father.  Son, 

And  to  Thee,  O  Holy  One. 

By  Whose  quickening  Breath  divine 

Our  dull  spirits  buru  and  shine.     Amen.

"  Tell  ye  the  daughter  of  Sion,  Behold  thy  King  cometh  unto  thee." 


TIIE  Advent  of  our  King 
Our  prayers  must  now  employ, 
And  we  must  hymns  of  welcome  sing 

In  strains  of  holy  joy. 
The  Everlasting  Sox 

Incarnate  deigns  to  be; 
Himself  a  servant's  form  puts  on, 

To  set  His  servants  free. 
Di  lighter  of  Sion,  rise 

To  meet  thy  lowly  King ; 
Nor  let  thy  faithless  heart  despise 

The  peace  He-  comes  to  bring. 


As  Judge,  on  clouds  of  light, 

He  soon  will  come  again, 
And  His  true  members  all  unite 

With  Him  in  heaven  to  reign. 
Before  the  dawning  day 

Let  sin's  dark  deeds  be  gone  ; 
The  old  man  all  be  put  away, 

The  new  man  all  put  on. 
All  glory  to  the  Son, 

Who  comes  to  set  us  free, 
With  Father,  Spirit,  ever  One, 

Through  all  eternity.     Amen.

Announces  that  the  Lord  is  nigh  ;

Glad  tidings  of  the  King  of  kings. 
Then  cleansed  he  every  breast  from  sin; 
Make  straight  the  way  for  Gon  within; 
Prepare  we  in  our  hearts  a  home. 
Where  such  a  mighty  Guest  may  come. 
For  Thou  art  our  Salvation,  Lord, 
Our  Refuge,  and  our  great  Reward  ;

"Without  Thy  grace  we  waste  away, 
Like  flowers  that  wither  and  decay. 
To  heal  the  sick  stretch  out  Thine  Hand, 
And  bid  the  fallen  sinner  stand  ; 
Shine  forth,  and  let  Thy  light  restore 
Earth's  own  true  loveliness  once  more-

OCOME,  O  come,  Emmanuel,

That  mourns  in  lonely  exile  here, 
Until  the  Sox  of  God  appear. 
Rejoice!  Rejoice!  Emmanuel

Thine  own  from  Satan's  tyranny; 
From  depths  of  hell  Thy  people  save, 
And  give  them  victory  o'er  the  grave.

O  come,  Thou  Day-Spring,  come  and  cheer 

Our  spirits  by  Thine  Advent  here ; 

Disperse  the  gloomy  clouds  of  night, 

And  death's  dark  shadows  put  to  flight. 
Rejoice!  Rejoice!  Emmanuel 
Shall  come  to  Thee,  O  Israel! 

O  come.  Thou  Key  of  David,  come 

And  open  wide  our  heavenly  home  ; 

Make  safe  the  way  that  leads  on  high, 

And  close  the  path  to  misery. 
Rejoice  !   Rejoice  !   Emmanuel 
Shall  come  to  Thee,  O  Israel !

In  ancient  times  didst  give  the  law, 

In  cloud,  and  majesty,  and  awe.

4  The  Losd  Himself  shall  descend  from  Heaven  with  a  shout,  with  the  voice  of  the 
archangel  and  with  the  trump  of  God.'1 

r\  REAT  GOD.  what  do  I  see  and  hear  ? 
\T  The  end  of  things  created: 
The  Judge  of  all  men  doth  appear 
On  clouds  of  glory  seated  : 

The  trumpets  sound,  the  graves  restore 
The  dead  which  they  contained  hefore  ; 

Prepare,  my  soul,  to  meet  Him. 

The  dead  in  CnsiST  are  first  to  rise 

At  that  last  trumpet's  sounding  ; 
Caught  up  to  meet  Him  m  the  skies, 

With  joy  their  Losn  surrounding; 
No  gloomy  fears  their  souls  dismay; 
His  presence  sheds  eternal  day 

On  those  prepared  to  meet  Him. 

The  ungodly,  filled  with  guilty  fears, 

Behold  His  wrath  prevailing  ; 
In  woe  they  rise,  but  all  their  tears 

And  sighs  are  unavailing. 
The  dav  of  grace  is  past  and  gone ; 
Trembling  they  stand  before  His  throne, 

All  unprepared  to  meet  Him. 

Great  Judge,  to  Thee  onr  prayers  we  pour, 

In  deep  abasement  bending; 
O  shield  us  through  that  last  dread  hour, 

Thy  wondrous  love  extending; 
May  we  in  this  our  trial  day, 
With  faithful  hearts  Thy  word  obey, 

And  thus  prepare  to  meet  Thee.    Amen.

HARK!  the  herald-angels  sing 
Glory  to  the  new-born  King, 
Peace  on  earth,  and  mercy  mild,

Joyful,  all  ye  nations,  rise. 
Join  the  triumph  of  the  skies  ; 
With  the  angelic  host  proclaim 
Christ  is  horn  in  Bethlehem.

Risen  with  healing  in  His  wings, 

Mild  He  lays  His  glory  by. 

Born  that  man  no  more  mav  die, 
Born  to  raise  the  sons  of  earth, 
Born  to  give  them  second  birth. 
Hark  !  the  herald-angels  sing 
Glory  to  the  new-born  King.    Amen.

'  Unto  you  is  born  this  day  in  the  city  of  David  a  Saviour  which  is  Christ  the  Lord." 


TyillLE  shepherds  watched  their  flocks  by 
)  )       All  seated  on  the  ground,  [night, 

The  angel  of  the  Lord  came  down, 

And  glory  shone  around. 
"  Fear  not,"1  said  lie;  for  mighty  dread 

Had  seized  their  troubled  mind; 
'*  Glad  tidings  of  great  joy  I  bring 

To  you  and  all  mankind. 
"  To  you  in  David's  town  this  day 

Is  born  of  David's  line 
A  Saviour,  Who  is  Christ  the  Lord; 

And  this  shall  be  the  sign  ; 


"  The  heavenly  Babe  you  there  shall  find 

To  human  view  displayed, 
All  meanly  wrapped  in  swathing  bands 

And  in  a  manger  laid." 
Thus  spake  the  seraph  :  and  forthwith 

Appeared  a  shining  throng 
Of  angels  praising  God,  who  thus 

Addressed  their  joyful  song: 
"  All  glory  be  to  God  on  high, 

And  in  the  earth  be  peace; 
Good-will  henceforth  from  heaven  to  men 

Begin  and  never  cease."     Amen.

The  Word  was  made  flesh." 

One  precious  truth  is  echoed  on, 

u  »rpjs  ti10U  nasi;  saved  us,  Thou  alone." 

Thou  from  the  Father's  throne  didst  come 

To  call  His  banished  children  home ; 

And  heaven,  and  earth,  and  sea,  and  shore 

His  love  Who  sent  Thee  here  adore. 

And  gladsome  too  are  we  to-day 

Whose  guilt  Thy  Blood  has  washed  away, 

Redeemed  the  new-made  song  we  sing  ; 

It  is  the  birth-day  of  our  King. 

O  Lord,  the  Virgin-born,  to  Thee 

Eternal  praise  and  glory  be; 

Whom  with  the  Father  we  adore 

And  Holy  Ghost  for  evermore.    Amen* 


OCTCRIST,  Redeemer  of  our  race, 
Thou  Brightness  of  the  Father's  Face, 
Of  Him  and  with  Him  ever  One 
Ere  times  and  seasons  had  begun  ; 
Thou  that  art  very  Light  of  light, 
Unfailing  Hope  in  sin's  dark  night, 
Hear  Thou  the  prayers  Thy  people  pray, 
The  wide  world  o'er,  this  blessed  day. 
Remember,  Lord  of  life  and  grace, 
How  once,  to  save  a  ruined  race, 
Thou  didst  our  very  flesh  assume 
In  Mary's  undefiled  womb. 
To-day,  as  year  by  year  its  light 
Sheds  o'er  the  world  a  radiance  bright,

"  Behold  1  bring  you  good  tidings  of  great  joy." 

CHRISTIANS,  awake,  salute  the  happy  morn, 
Whereon  the  Saviour  of  mankind  was  born; 
Rise  to  adore  the  mystery  of  love, 
Which  hosts  of  angels  chanted  from  above  ; 
With  them  the  joyful  tidings  first  begun 
Of  God  Incarnate  and  the  Virgin's  Sox. 
Then  to  the  watchful  shepherds  it  was  told, 
Who  heard  the  angelic  herald's  voice,  "  Behold, 
I  bring  good  tidings  of  a  Saviour's  birth 
To  you  and  all  the  nations  upon  eartli  ; 
This  day  hath  God  fulfilled  His  promised  word, 
This  day  is  born  a  Saviour,  Christ  the  Lord." 
He  spake;  and  straightway  the  celestial  choir 
In  hyms  of  joy,  unknown  before,  conspire: 
The  praises  of  redeeming  love  they  sang, 
And  heaven's  whole  orb  with  alleluias  rang 
God's  highest  glory  was  their  anthem  still, 
Peace  upon  earth,  and  unto  men  good-will. 
To  Bethlehem  straight  th'  enlightened  shepherds  ran, 
To  see  the  wonders  God  had  wrought  for  man ; 
Then  to  their  flocks,  still  praising  God,  return, 
And  their  glad  hearts  with  holy  rapture  burn; 
To  all  the  joyful  tidings  they  proclaim, 
The  first  apostles  of  the  Saviouk's  Name. 
Oh  !  may  we  keep  and  ponder  in  our  mind 
God's  wondrous  love  in  saving  lost  mankind  ; 
Trace  we  the  Babe,  Who  hath  retrieved  our  loss, 
From  the  poor  manger  to  the  bitter  cross ; 
Tread  in  His  steps,  assisted  by  His  grace, 
Till  man's  first  heavenly  state  again  takes  place. 
Then  may  we  hope,  the  angelic  hosts  among, 
To  join,  redeemed,  a  glad  triumphant  throng: 
He  that  was  born  upon  this  joyful  day 
Around  us  all  His  glory  shall  display; 
Saved  by  His  love,  incessant  we  shall  sing 
Eternal  praise  to  heaven's  Almighty  King.     Amen.

"  The  disciple  whom  Jesus  loved." 


"1T7"0BD  Supreme  before  creation 
W       Born  of  God  eternally, 
Who  didst  will  for  our  salvation 

To  be  born  on  earth  and  die  ; 
"Well  Thy  saints  have  kept  their  station, 

Watching  till  Thine  hour  drew  nigh. 

Now 'tis  come,  and  faith  espies  Thee; 

Like  an  eaglet  in  the  morn. 
One  in  steadfast  worship  eyes  Thee, 

Thy  beloved.  Thy  latest  born; 
In  Thy  glory  he  descries  Thee 

Reigning  from  the  tree  of  scorn. 

He  upon  thy  bosom  lying 

Thy  loved  tokens  learned  by  heart; 
And  Thy  dearest  pledge  in  dying, 

Loud.  Thou  didst  to  him  impart ; 
Shew'dst  him  how,  all  grace  supplying, 

Blood  and  water  from  Thee  start. 


He  first,  hoping  and  beliering, 

Did  beside  the  grave  adore  ; 
latest  he,  the  warfare  leaving, 

Landed  on  th'  eternal  shore; 
And  his  witness  we  receiving 

Own  Thee  Lord  for  evermore. 

Much  he  asked  in  loving  wonder, 
On  Thy  bosom  leaning,  Lord  ; 

In  that  secret  place  of  thunder 
Answer  kind,  didst  Thou  accord, 

Wisdom  for  Thy  Church  to  ponder 
Till  the  day  of  dread  award. 

Lo  !  heaven's  doors  lift  up,  revealing 
How  Thy  judgments  earthward  move, 

Scrolls  unfolded,  trumpets  pealing, 
Wine  cups  from  the  wrath  above ; 

Yet  o'er  all  a  soft  voice  stealing — 
" Little  children,  trust  and  love  !" 


Thee,  the  almighty  King  eternal, 

Father  of  th'  eternal  Word, 
Thee,  the  Father' s  Word  supernal, 

Thee,  of  Both,  the  Breath  adored, 
Heaven  and  earth,  and  realms  infernal,

A  HYMN  for  Martyrs  sweetly  sing  ; 
For  Innocents  your  praises  bring; 
Of  whom  in  tears  was  earth  bereaved, 
Whom  heaven  with  songs  of  joy  received  : 
Whose  angels  see  the  Fathke's  Face 
World  without  end,  and  hymn  His  grace. 
And,  while  they  praise  their  glorious  King, 
A  hymn  for  Martyrs  sweetly  sing. 

A  voice  from  Ram  ah  was  there  sent, 

A  voice  of  weeping  and  lament. 

While  Rachel  mourned  her  children  sore 

Whom  for  the  tyrant's  sword  she  bore. 

Triumphal  is  their  glory  now 

Whom  earthly  suffering  could  not  bow; 

For  whom  by  cruel  torments  rent, 

A  voice  from  llamah  was  there  sent. 

44 


Fear  not,  O  little  flock  and  blest, 
The  lion  that  your  life  oppressed: 
To  heavenly  pastures  ever  new 
The  heavenly  Shepherd  leadeth  yon, 
Who  dwelling  now  on  Sion's  hill 
The  Lamb's  own  footsteps  follow  still, 
By  tyrant  there  no  more  distressed ; 
Fear  not,  O  little  flock  and  blest 

And  every  tear  is  wiped  away 

By  your  dear  Fathkb's  hands  for  aye: 

Death  hath  no  power  to  hurt  you  more; 

Your  own  is  life's  eternal  shore. 

And  all  who.  good  seed  bearing,  weep, 

In  ererlastingjoy  shall  reap:

Circumcision. 


J L 


"  God  sent  forth  His  Son,  made  of  a  woman,  made  under  the  law,  to  redeem  them 
that  were  under  the  lawr' 


0  BLESSED  DAY,  when  first  was  poured 
The  Blood  of  our  redeeming  Lord! 
O  Blessed  Day,  when  first  began 
His  sufferings  borne  for  sinful  man  ! 
Scarce  entered  on  this  life  of  woe, 
His  Infant  Blood  begins  to  flow; 
A  foretaste  of  His  death  He  feels, 
An  earnest  of  His  love  reveals. 
From  heaven  descending  to  fulfil 
The  bidding  of  His  Father's  will, 
A  victim  even  now  He  lies 
Before  the  day  of  sacrifice. 
For  love  of  us  His  woes  begin  ; 
The  Sinless  suffers  for  our  sin; 


The  Law's  great  Maker  for  our  aid 

Obedient  to  the  Law  is  made. 

The  wound  He  through  the  Law  endures 

Our  freedom  from  that  Law  secures; 

Henceforth  a  holier  law  prevails, 

The  law  of  love  which  never  fails. 

Lord,  circumcise  our  hearts,  we  pray, 

And  take  what  is  not  Thine  away; 

Write  Thine  own  Name  within  our  hearts, 

Thy  law  upon  our  inmost  parts. 

O  Lord,  the  Virgin-born,  to  Thee 

Eternal  praise  and  glory  be  ; 

"Whom  with  the  Father  we  adore 

And  Holy  Ghost  for  evermore.    Amen. 


Hymn  57. 


*'  Let  this  mind  be  in  you  which  was  also  in  Christ  Jesus." 


THE  Word,  with  God  the  Fathfr  One 
Before  the  heavens  and  earth  were  made, 
Is  now  the  Virgin's  new-born  Son, 
Upon  her  lowly  bosom  laid. 
Already  o'er  His  sinless  Head 
The  streams  of  wrath  begin  to  flow ; 
Already  on  His  infant  bed 
The  taste  of  grief  He  deigns  to  know. 
The  lowliest  poverty  he  bears 
That  we  may  be  with  wealth  supplied  ; 


He  weeps  ;  O  precious  grief  and  tears! 
Through  Him  the  world  is  purified. 
An  humble  dress,  a  mean  abode, 
A  life  obscure  His  glory  hide  ; 
Proud  man,  behold  thy  lowly  God, 
And  let  the  sight  destroy  thy  pride. 
Jf.8U,  Who  earnest  from  on  high 
To  be  the  Lamb  for  sinners  slain, 
Leave  not  Thy  ransomed  flock  to  die. 
Nor  let  Thy  toil  be  spent  in  vain.    Amen.

The  heavenly  Lamb  in  meekness  stood, 


That  He,  to  Whom  no  sin  was  known, 

Might  cleanse  His  people  from  their  own. 

And  oh  !   what  miracle  divine, 

When  water  reddened  into  wine; 

He  spake  the  word,  and  forth  it  flowed 

In  streams  that  nature  ne'er  bestowed. 

All  glory,  Jesu,  be  to  Thee 

For  this  Thy  glad  Epiphany 

Whom  with  the  Fathee  we  adore 

And  Holy  Giiost  for  evermore.     Amen.

In  deep  humility.

44  When  they  saw  the  star,  they  rejoiced  with  exceeding  great  joy.1 


AS  with  gladness  men  of  old 
Did  the  guiding  star  behold  ; 
As  with  joy  they  hailed  its  light, 
Leading  onward,  beaming  bright ; 
So,  most  gracious  Lonn,  may  we 
Evermore  be  led  to  Thee. 

As  with  joyful  steps  they  sped 
To  that  lowly  manger-bed  ; 
There  to  bend  the  knee  before 
Him  Whom  heaven  and  earth  adore 
So  may  we  with  willing  feet 
Ever  seek  the  mercy-seat 


As  they  offered  gifts  most  rare 
At  that  manger  rude  and  bare; 
So  may  we  with  holy  joy, 
Pure  and  free  from  sin's"  alloy, 
All  onr  costliest  treasures  bring, 
Cueist  !  to  Thee  our  heavenly  King 

Holy  Jesus,  every  day 
Keep  us  in  the  narrow  way , 
And,  when  earthly  things  are  past, 
Bring  our  ransomed  souls  at  last 
Where  they  need  no  star  to  guide, 
Where  no  clouds  Thy  glory  hide.

In  the  heavenly  country  bright 
Need  they  no  created  light  ; 
Thou  its  Light,  its  Joy,  its  Crown, 
Thou  its  Sun  which  goes  not  down ; 
There  for  ever  may  we  sing 
Alleluias  to  our  King.    Amen.

HAIL  to  the  Lord's  Annointed, 
Great.  David's  greater  Son  I 
Hail,  in  the  time  appointed, 
His  reign  on  earth  hegun! 
He  comes  to  break  oppression, 

To  set  the  captive  free  ; 
To  take  away  trangression, 
And  rule  in  equity. 

He  shall  come  down  like  showers 

Upon  the  fruirful  earth, 
And  joy  and  hope,  like  flowers, 

Spring  in  His  path  to  birth; 
Before  Him  on  the  mountains 

Shall  Peace,  the  herald,  go ; 
From  hill  to  vale  the  fountains 

Of  Righteousness  o'erflow. 

Kings  shall  bow  down  before  Him, 

And  go  d  and  incense  bring; 
All  nations  shall  adore  Him, 

His  praise  all  people  sing ; 
To  Him  shall  prayer  unceasing, 

And  daily  vows  ascend  ; 
His  kingdom  still  increasing, 

A  kingdom  without  end. 

O'er  every  foe  victorious, 

He  on  His  throne  shall  rest ; 
From  age  to  ago  more  glorious, 

All-blessiug  and  all-blessed: 
The  tide  of  time  shall  never 

His  covenant  remove ; 
His  Name  shall  stand  for  ever, 

His  changeless  Name  of  love.    Amen.

Of  hope  uplifted  to  the  skies  ! 
Strangers  and  pilgrims  here  below 
They  deemed  the  world  an  empty  show ; 


To  purer  joys  their  hearts  were  given; 
The  better  land  they  sought  was  Heaven. 
The  soul  that  truly  cleaves  to  God 
>ngs  to  gain  that  blest  abode: 
0  Chbmt,  forbid  our  souls  to  roam, 
And  fix  them  on  our  own  true  Home. 
All  praise  to  God  the  Fathes  be; 
All  praise.  Eternal  Sox.  to  Thee  ; 
Whom  with  the  Spikit  we  adore 
For  ever  and  for  evermore.    Amen.

MNow  abideth  faith,  hope,  charity,  these  three  ;  but  the  greatest  of  these  is  charity.*1 


GREAT  Mover  of  all  hearts,  Whose  Hand 
Doth  all  the  secret  springs  command 
Of  human  thought  and  will, 

Thou,  since  the  world  was  made,  dost  bless 
Thv  saints  with  fruits  of  holiuess, 

Their  order  to  fulfil. 
Faith,  hope,  and  love,  here  weave  one  chain ; 
But  love  alone  shall  then  remain 

When  this  short  dav  is  gone: 


O  Love,  O  Truth.  O  endless  Light, 
When  shall  we  see  Thy  Sabbath  bright 

With  all  our  labours  done  ? 
We  sow  "mid  perils  here  and  tears  ; 
There  the  glad  hand  the  harvest  bears, 

Which  here  in  grief  hath  sown  :

T.i    se  _rifts  of  grace,  by  which  we  live, 

With  heavenly  glory  crown.     Amen.

"Rend  your  heart  and  not  yonr  garments,  and  turn  unto  the  Lour*  your  God.*" 


ONCE  more  the  solemn  season  calls 
A  holy  fast  to  keep  ; 
And  now  within  the  temple  walls 

Both  priests  and  people  w 
But  vain  all  outward  siltu  of  irrief,

In  sorrow  true  then  let  us  pray 

To  our  offended  Gon, 
From  us  to  turn  UN  wrath  away 

And  stay  the   uplifted  rod. 
O  Gob,  our  Judge  and  Father,  deign 

To  spare  the  bruised  reed  ;

Now,  saith  the  Loan,  turn  ye  even  to  Me  with  all  your  heart,  and  with   fasting 
and  with  weeping,  and  with  mourning.*' 
Y  precepts  taught  of  ages  past, 
Now  let  us  keep  again  the  fast 


Which,  year  by  year,  in  order  meet 

Of  forty  days  is  made  complete. 

The  law  and  seers  that  were  of  old 

In  divers  ways  this  Lent  foretold, 

Which  Christ  Himself,  the  Loud  and  Guide 

Of  every  season,  saaciitied. 

More  sparing  therefore  let  us  make 

The  words  we  speak,  the  food  we  take, 

Deny  ourselves  In  mirth  and  sleep, 

In  stricter  watch  our  senses  keep. 

In  prayer  together  let  us  fall, 

And  cry  for  mercy,  one  and  all ; 

And  weep  before  the  Judge,  and  say, 

Oh,  turn  from  us  Thy  wrath  away. 


Hymn  75. 


Thy  grace  have  we  offended  sore 
By  sins,  O  God.  which  we  deplore  ; 
Pour  down  upon  us  from  above 
The  riches  of  Thy  pardoning  love. 
Remember,  Lord,  though  frail  we  be, 
That  yet  Thine  handiwork  are  we  : 
Nor  let  the  honour  of  Thy  Name 
Be  by  another  put  to  shame. 
Forgive  the  sin  that  we  havp  wrought, 
Increase  the  good  that  we  have  sought ; 
That  we  at  length,  our  wanderings  o'er, 
May  please  Thee  here  and  evermore, 
Blest  .Thp.ee  in  One  and  One  in  Three, 
Almighty  God.  we  pray  to  Thee, 
That  Thou  wouldst  now  vouchsafe  to  bless

Beam  hope  upon  the  heart.

I  hope  for  heaven  thereby, 
Nor  yet  because  who  love  Thee  not 

Must  burn  eternally. 
Thou.  Omy  .Tfsus.  Thou  didst  me 

Upon  the  Cross  embrace  ; 
For  me  didst  bear  the  nails,  and  spear, 

And  manifold  disgrace. 
And  griefs  and  torments  numberless, 

And  sweat  of  agony; 
Ye.,  death  itself;  and  all  for  me 

Who  was  Thine  enemy. 


'  We  love  Ilim  because  He  first  loved  us." 

Then  Why.  O  blessed  Ji  sr  Christ, 

Should  I  not  love  Thee  well  ? 
Not  for  the  hope  of  winning  heaven, 

Nor  of  escaping  hell  ; 
Not  with  the  hope  of  gaining  aught. 

Not  se  king  a  reward  ; 
But  as  Thyself  hast  loved  me, 

O  ever-loving  Lord. 
So  would  I  love  Thee,  dearest  Lord, 

And  in  Thy  praise  will  sing; 
Solely  because  Thou  art  my  Gor>, 

And  my  Eternal  King.     Amen.

Vhen  she  saw  the  Crucifixion 
i  Of  her  ever-glorious  Son. 

Vho,  on  Christ's  dear  Mother  gazing 
'ierced  by  anguish  so  amazing, 
Born  of  woman,  would  not  weep  ? 


For  His  people's  sins  chastised 

She  beheld  her  Son  despised,         [twined. 

Scourged,  and  crowned  with  thorns  en- 
Saw  Him  then  from  judgment  taken, 
And  in  death  by  all  forsaken, 

Till  His  Spirit  He  resigned. 

Jesu,  may  such  deep  devotion 
Stir  in  me  the  same  emotion, 

Fount  of  love,  Redeemer  kind. 
That  my  heart  fresh  ardour  gaining 
And  a  purer  love  attaining, 

May  with  Thee  acceptance  find.  Amen.

All  our  trust  for  life  renewed,

Hymn  100. 


"  They  crucified  Him." 


0COME  and  mourn  with  me  awhile  ; 
O  com  -  ye  to  the  Saviouk's  side  ; 
O  come,  together  let  us  mourn; 
Jesus,  our  Lord,  is  crucified. 
IIave  we  no  tears  to  shed  for  Him, 
While  soldiers  scoff  and  Jews  deride  ? 
Ah  !  look  bow  patiently  II  >  hangs  ; 

.  our  Lobd,  is  crucified. 
How  fast  His  Hands  and  Feet  are  nailed  ; 
His  Throat  with  parching  thirst  is  dried; 
His  failing  Eyes  are  dimmed  with  Blood  ; 
JecUS,  our  Losd,  is  crucified. 
72 


Seven  times  He  spako.  seven  words  of  lr>"e; 
And  all  three  hours  His  silence  cried 
For  mercy  on  the  souls  of  men  ; 
Jesus,  our  Lobd,  is  crucified. 
Come.  let  us  stand  beneath  the  Cross; 
So  may  the  Blood  from  out  His  Side 
F;dl  gently  on  us  drop  by  drop; 
Jesus,  our  Lobd,  is  crucified. 
A  broken  heart,  a  fount  of  tears 
A-k.  and  they  will  nof  be  denied  ; 
Lobd  Jrsus,  may  we  love  and  weep, 
Since  Thou  for  us  art  crucified.    Amen.

Behold,  upon  the  accursed  tree

And  ever  lives  to  save.

What  though  the  saints  like  Him  shall  die, 
They  share  their  Leader's  victory, 

And  triumph  with  their  King.

For  Jesus  will  their  spirits  save, 

And  raise  their  slumbering  dust :

'  By  His  own  Blood  ne  entered  in  once  into  the  holy  place." 


0   SAVIOUR,  Who  for  man  hast  trod 
The  winepress  of  the  wrath  of  God, 
Ascend,  and  daim  again  on  high, 
Thy  glory  left  for  us  to  die. 
A  radiant  cloud  is  now  Thy  seat, 
And  earth  lies  stretched  beneath  Thy  feet ; 
Ten  thousand  thousands  round  Thee  sing, 
And  share  the  triumph  of  their  King. 
Th^  angel-host,  enraptured  waits; 
11  Lift  up  your  heads,  eternal  gates!  " 
O  G-OD-and-MAN !  the  Father's  Throne 
Is  bow  for  evermore  Thine  own. 
Our  great  High  Priest  and  Shepherd  Thou 
"Within  the  veil  art  entered  now, 


To  oft\?r  there  Thy  precious  Blood 

Once  poured  on  earth  a  cleansing  flood. 

And  thence  the  Church,  Thy  chosen  Bride, 

With  countless  gifts  of  grace  supplied, 

Throughall  her  members  draws  from  Thee 

Her  hidden  life  of  sanctity. 

O  Christ,  our  Lord,  of  Thy  dear  care 

Thy  lowly  members  heaven-ward  Lear; 

Be  ours  with  Thee  to  suffer  pain, 

With  Thee  for  evermore  to  reign. 

All  praise  from  ( very  heart  and  tongue 

To  Thee,  ascended  Lord,  be  sung; 

All  praise  to  God  the  Father  be 

And  Holy  Ghost  eternally.     Amen.

With  the  abundance  of  Thy  grace  : 
Keep  far  our  foes,  give  peace  at  home  ; 
Where  Thou  art  guide,  no  ill  can  come. 
Teach  us  to  know  the  Fathkr.  Soy,

That,  through  the  ages  all  along, 
This  mav  be  our  endless  song  :

OUR  blest  Redeemer,  ere  He  breathed 
His  tender  last  farewell, 
A  Guide,  a  Comforter,  bequeathed

'  Ilere  have  we  no  continuing  city,  but  we  seek  one  to  come." 

BRIEF  life  is  here  our  portion  ; 
Brief  sorrow,  short-lived  care  : 
The  life  that  knows  no  ending, 
The  tearless  life,  is  there. 

O  happy  retribution ! 

Short  toil,  eternal  rest ; 
For  mortals  and  for  sinners 

A  mansion  with  the  blest. 

And  now  we  fight  the  battle, 

But  then  shall  wear  the  crown 
Of  full  and  everlasting 

And  passionless  renown ; 

And  now  we  watch  and  struggle, 

And  now  we  live  in  hope, 
And  Sion  in  her  anguish 

With  Babylon  must  cope  ; 

But  He  Whom  now  we  trust  in 

Shall  then  be  seen  and  known, 
And  they  that  know  and  see  Him 

Shall  have  Him  for  their  own. 

The  morning  shall  awaken, 

The  shadow  shall  decay, 
And  each  true-hearted  servant 

Shall  shine  as  doth  the  day  ; 

There  God,  our  King  and  Portion, 

In  fulness  of  His  grace, 
Shall  we  behold  for  ever, 

And  worship  face  to  face. 

O  sweet  and  blessed  country 

The  IIom3  of  God's  elect! 
O  sweet  and  blessed  country,

Yes :   none  other  name  is  given 
Unto  mortals  under  heaven, 
Which  can  make  the  dead  arise, 
And  exalt  them  to  the  skies.

That  which  He  so  dearly  bought, 
That  salvation,  mortals,  say,

eternal." 

THE  roseate  hues  of  early  dawn, 
The  brightness  of  the  day, 
The  crimson  of  the  sunset  sky, 

How  fast  they  fade  away  ! 
Oh,  for  the  pearly  gates  of  heaven, 

Oh,  for  the  golden  floor, 
Oh,  for  the  Sun  of  Pdghteousness 
That  setteth  nevermore !

How  fast  they  tire  and  faint ; 
How  many  a  spot  defies  the  robe 

That  wraps  an  earthly  saint! 
Oh.  for  a  heart  that  never  sins, 

Oh.  for  a  soul  washed  white. 
Oh,  for  a  voice  to  praise  our  King, 

Nor  weary  day  nor  night ! 

Here  faith  is  ours,  and  heavenly  hope, 

And  grace  to  lead  us  higher; 
But  there  are  perfectness,  and  peace, 

Beyond  our  best  desire 
Oh.  by  Thy  1  >ve  and  anguish,  Losd, 

And  by  Thy  life  laid  down. 
Grant  that  we'  fall  not  from  Thy  grace,

LET  every  heart  exulting  beat 
With  joy  at  Jesu  s  Name  of  bliss  ; 
"With  every  pure  delight  replete 
A  id  passing  sweet  its  music  is. 

Jesus  the  comfortless  consoles, 
J.  srs  each  sinful  fever  quells, 
Jesus  the  power  of  hell  co  itrols, 
JESUS  each  deadly  foe  repels. 

O  speak  His  glorious  Name  abroad! 
Jesus  let  every  tongue  confess, 


Let  every  heart  and  voice  accord 
The  Healer  of  our  souls  to  bless. 

Jesu,  the  sinner's  Friend,  abide 
With  us,  and  hearken  to  our  prayer; 
Thy  frail  and  erring  wanderers  guide, 
In  mercy  our  transgressions  spare. 

All  might,  all  glory  be  to  Thee, 
Kefulgent  with  this  Name  Divine;

Christ  ;  and  lie  shall  reign  for  ever  and  ever." 


JESUS  shall  reign  where'  er  the  sun 
Doth  his  successive  journeys  run  ;

Till  moons  shall  wax  and  wane  no  more. 
People  and  realms  of  every  tongue 
Dwell  on  ilis  lore  with  sweetest  song, 
And  infant  voices  shall  proclaim 
Their  early  blessings  on  His  Name. 


Blessings  abound  where'er  He  reigns  ; 
The  prisoner  leaps  to  lose  His  chains; 
The  weary  find  eternal  rest, 
And  all  the  sons  of  want  are  blest. 
Let  every  creature  rise  and  bring 
Peculiar  honours  to  our  King ; 
Angels  descend  with  songs  again, 
And  earth  repeat  the  loud  Amen.    Amen.

*Mary  hath  chosen  that  good  part,  -which  shall  not  be  taken  away  from  her.' 

OLOYE  divine,  how  sweet  thou  art! 
When  shall  I  find  my  willing  heart 
All  taken  up  by  Thee  ? 
I  thirst,  I  faint,  I  die  to  prove 
The  greatness  of  redeeming  love, 
The  love  of  Cram  to  me  ! 

Stronger  His  love  than  doath  or  hell ; 
Its  riches  are  unsearchable; 

The  firstborn  sons  of  light 
Desire  in  vain  its  depths  to  see ; 
They  cannot  reach  the  mystery, 

The  length  and  breadth  and  height. 

Gon  only  knows  the  love  of  God  ; 
O  that-  it  now  were  shed  abroad 

In  this  poor  stony  heart ! 
For  love  I  sigh,  for  love  I  pine  ; 
This  only  portion.  Lobd,  be  mine, 

Be  mine  this  better  part. 

For  ever  wonld  I  take  my  seat 
Witfi  Mary  at  the  Master's  feet 

Be  this  my  happy  choice  : 
My  only  carp,  delight,  and  bliss, 
My  joy,  ray  heaven  on  earth,  be  this.

A  child  of  God.  a  home  for  Thee,

In  faith  and  hope,  in  joy  and  love,

"  The  harvest  is  the  end  of  the  world,  and  the  reapers  are  the  angels. " 


LORD  of  the  harvest,  once  again 
We  thank  Thee  for  the  ripened  grain; 
For  crops  safe  carried,  sent  to  cheer 
Thy  servants  through  another  year  ; 
For  all  sveet  holy  thoughts  supplied 
By  seed-time,  and  by  harvest-tide. 

The  bare  dead  grain,  in  autumn  sown, 
Its  robe  of  vernal  green  puts  on  ; 
Glad  from  its  wintry  grave  it  springs, 
Fresh  garnished  by  the  King  oi  Kir.gs : 
So,  Lord,  to  those  who  sleep  in  Thee 
Shall  new  and  glorious  bodies  be. 


Nor  vainly  of  Thy  "Word  we  ask 
A  lesson  from  the  reaper's  task : 
So  shall  Thine  angels  issue  forth  ; 
The  tares  be  burnt ;  the  just  of  earth, 
To  wind  and  storm  exposed  no  more, 
Be  gathered  to  their  Fatiiek's  store. 

Dailv.  O  Losn,  our  prayers  be  said, 
As  Thou  hast  taught,  for  daily  bread ; 
But  not  alone  our  bodies  t\  ed, 
Supply  our  fainting  spirits'  need  ; 
O  Bread  of  Life,  from  day  to  day 
Be  Thou  their  Comfort,  Food,  and  Stay! 
Amen.

"  The  Lord  shall  give  His  people  the  blessing  of  peace. 
War. 

OGOD  of  love,  O  King  of  peace,    [cease; 
Make  wars   throughout    the    world   to 
The  wrath  of  sinful  man  restrain, 
Give  peace,  O  God,  give  peace  again. 
Remember,  Lord,  Thy  works  of  old, 
The  wonders  that  our  fathers  told, 
Remember  not  our  sin's  dark  stain, 
Give  peace,  O  God,  give  peace  again. 


Whom  shall  we  trust  but  Thee.  O  Loed? 
Where  rest  but  on  Thy  faithful  word  ? 
None  ever  called  on  Thee  in  vain. 
Give  peace,  O  God,  give  peace  again. 
Where  saints  an  1  angels  dwell  above, 
All  hearts  are  knit  in  holy  love  ; 
O  bind  us  in  that  heavenly  chain, 
Give  peace,  O  God,  give  peace  again.

1  Thou  shalt  not  be  afraid  ...  for  the  pestilence  that  walketh  in  darkness  ;   nor  for 
the  sickness  that  destroyeth  in  the  noon-day." 
Pebttlencel 


IN  grief  and  fear,  to  Thee,  O  Loud, 
We  now  for  succour  fly, 
Thine  awful  judgments  are  abroad, 
O  shield  us  lest  we  die. 

The  fell  disease  on  every  side 
Walks  forth  with  tainted  breath  ; 

And  Pestilence,  with  rapid  stride, 
Bestrews  the  land  with  death. 


O  look  with  pity  on  the  scene 

Of  s  idness  and  of  dread. 
And  let  Thine  angel  stand  between 

The  living  and  the  dead. 

With  contrite  hearts  to  Thee,  our  King, 
We  turn  who  oft  have  strayed  ; 

Accept  the  sacrifice  we  bring, 
And  let  the  plague  be  stayed.     Amen.

prepared  as  a  bride  adorned  for  her  husband." 


BLESSED  city,  heavenly  Salem, 
Vision  dear  of  peace  and  love, 
Who  of  living  stones  art  builded 

In  the  height  of  heaven  above, 
And,  with  angel  hosts  encircled, 

As  a  bride  to  earth  dost  move  ; 
From  celestial  realms  descending, 

Bridal  slory  round  thee  shed, 
Meet  for  Him  Whose  love  espoused  thee, 

To  tby  Lord  shalt  thou  be  led  ; 
All  thy  streets  and  all  thy  bulwarks 

Of  pure  gold  are  fashioned. 
Bright  thy  gates  of  pearl  are  shining, 

They  are  open  evermore  ; 
And  by  virtue  of  His  merits 

For  the  oilier  verses  see  next  page. 


Thither  faithful  souls  do  soar, 
Who  for  Christ's  dear  Name  in  this  world 

Pain  and  tribulation  bore. 
Many  a  blow  and  biting  sculpture 

Polished  well  those  stones  elect, 
In  their  places  now  compacted 

By  the  heavenly  Architect, 
Who  therewith  hath  willed  for  ever 

That  His  Palace  should  be  decked. 
Praise  and  honour  to  the  Father, 

Praise  and  honour  to  the  Sox, 
Praise  and  honour  to  the  Spirit,

THE  Sox  of  God  goes  forth  to  war, 
A  kingly  crown  to  gain,

Could  pierce  beyond  the  g^ave, 
Who  saw  his  Master  in  the  sky, 

And  called  an  Ilim  to  save.

In  mid-t  of  mortal  piin.

A  glorious  band,  the  chosen  few

Their  Portion,  Crown,  and   faithful 
From  all  transgressions  set  us  free     [Lord, 
Who  siig  Thy  martyr's  victory. 
By  wisdom  taught  he  learned  to  know 
The  vanity  of  all  below, 
The  fleeting  joys  of  earth  disdained, 
And  everlasting  glory  gained. 
Right  manfully  his  cross  he  bore, 
And  ran  his  race  of  torments  sore ; 


For  Thee  he  poured  his  life  away, 
With  Thee  he  lrws  in  e  ldless  day. 
We  therefore  pray  Thee,  Lord  of  Love, 
Regard  us  from  Tny  throne  above  ; 
On  this  Thy  martyr's  triumph-day, 
Wash  every  stain  of  sin  away* 
All  praise  to  God  the  Father  be, 
All  praise  Eternal  Son,  to  Thee, 
Whom  with  the  Spirit  we  adore 
For  ever  and  for  evermore.    Amen.

HOW  blest  the  matron,  who,  endued 
With  holy  zeal  and  lortitud », 
lias  wo'i  through  grace  a  saintly  fame, 
And  owns  a  dear  and  honoured  name. 
Such  holy  love  inflamed  her  breast 
She  would  not  seek  on  earth  her  rest, 
But,  strong  in  faith  and  patience,  trod 
The  narrow  way  that  leads  to  God. 
She  learned,  through  fasting,  to  control 
The  flesh  that  weigheth  down  the  soul, 


And  then  by  prayer's  sweet  food  sustained 
To  seek  the  joys  she  now  has  gained. 
O  Christ,  from  Whom  allvi-tue  springs, 
Who  oily  doest  wondrous  things, 
To  Thee,  the  King  of  Sai  its,  we  pray,

THE  radiant  morn  hath  passed  away, 
And  spent  too  soon  her  golden  store ; 
The  shadows  of  departing  day 
Creep  on  once  more. 

Our  life  is  but  a  fading  dawn, 
Its  glorious  noon  how  quicklv  past; 
Lead  us.  O  Christ,  when  all'  is  gona, 
Safe  home  at  last. 

Oh.  by  Thy  soul-inspiring  grace 

Uplift  our  hearts  to  realms  on  high ; 
Help  us  to  look  to  that  bright  place 
Beyond  the  sky ; 

Where  light,  and  love,  and  joy,  andpeaet 
In  undivided  empire  reign. 
And  thronging  angels  nev^r  cease 
Their  deathless  strain  ; 

"Where  saints  are  clothed  in  spotless  white, 
And  evening  shadows  never  fall, 
Where  Thou.  Eternal  Light  of  Light, 
Art  Lord  of  alL    Amen.

41  It  is  Thou,  Lord,  only  that  makest  me  dwell  in  safety." 

THE  day  is  past  and  over  ; 
All  thanks,  O  Lord,  to  Thee ; 
I  pray  Thee  now  that  sinless 
The  hours  of  dark  may  he  : 
O  Jesu,  keep  me  in  Thy  sight, 
And  guard  me  through  the  coming  night 

The  joys  of  day  are  over ; 
I  lift  my  heart  to  Thee, 
And  ask  Thee  that  offenceless 
The  hours  of  dark  may  be: 
O  Jesu,  keep  me  in  Thy  sight, 
And  guard  me  through  the  coming  night. 

The  toils  of  day  are  over; 

I  raise  the  hymn  to  Thee, 
And  ask  that  free  from  peril 
The  hours  of  dark  may  he : 
O  Jesu.  keep  me  in  Thy  sight, 
And  guard  me  through  the  coming  nigkt 

Lighten  mine  eyes,  O  Savioub, 

Or  sleep  in  death  shall  I, 
And  he,  my  wakeful  tempter, 
Triumphantly  shall  cry 
11  Aeainst  him  I  have  now  prevailed  ; 
Rejoice  !  the  child  of  God  has  failed." 

Be  Thou  my  soul's  preserver, 
For  Thou  alone  dost  know 
How  many  are  the  perils 
Through  which  I  have  to  go  : 
O  loving  Jesu.  hear  my  call, 
And  guard  and  save  me  from  them  all.

11  And  at  even,  when  the  sun  did  set,  they 
and  all  that  were  possessed  with  devils, 
at  the  door.1' 

AT  even  ere  the  sun  was  set, 
The  sick   O  Lobd,  around  Thee  lay; 
Oh,  in  what  divers  pains  they  met ! 
Oh,  with  what  joy  they  went  away  ! 
Once  more  'tis  eventide,  and  we 
Oppressed  with  various  ills  draw  near : 
What  if  Thy  form  we  cannot  see  ? 
AVe  know  and  feel  that  Thou  art  here. 
O  Savious  Christ,  our  woes  dispel ; 
For  tome  are  sick,  and  some  are  sad, 
And  irome  have  never  loved  Thee  well, 
And  some  have  lost  the  love  they  had  ; 
And  some  have  found  the  world  is  vain, 
Yet  from  the  world  they  break  not  free ; 


brought  unto  Him  all  that  were  diseased, 
And  all  the  city  was  gathered  together 

And  some  have  friends  who  give  them  pain, 
Yet  have  not  sought  a  friend  in  Thee  ; 
And  none,  O  Loud,  have  perfect  rest, 
For  none  are  wholly  free  from  sin  ; 
And  they,  who  fain  would  serve  Thee  best, 
Are  conscious  most  of  wrong  within. 
O  Savioxjii  Christ,  Thou  too  art  Man ; 
Thou  hast  been  troubled,  tempted,  tried ; 
Thy  kind  but  searching  glance  can  scan 
The  very  wounds  that  shame  would  hide  ; 
The  touch  has  still  its  ancient  power ; 
No  word  from  Thee  can  fruitless  fall ; 
Hear  in  this  solemn  evening  hour, 
And  in  Thy  mercy  heal  us  all.     Amen.

SAVIOUR,  again  to  Thy  dear  Name  we  raise 
With  one  accord  our  parting  hymn  of  praise  ; 
We  stand  to  bless  Thee  ere  our  worship  cease, 
Then,  lowly  kneeling,  wait  Thy  word  cf  peace. 

Grant  us  Thy  peace  upon  our  homeward  way ; 
With  Thee  began,  with  Thee  shall  end  the  day; 
Guard  Thou  the  lips  from  sin,  the  hearts  from  shamt, 
That  in  this  house  have  called  upon  Thy  Name. 

Grant  us  Thy  peace,  Lord,  through  the  coming  night, 
Turn  Thou  for  us  its  darkness  into  light ; 
From  harm  and  danger  keep  Thy  children  free, 
For  dark  and  light  are  both  alike  to  Thee. 

Grant  us  Thy  p^ace  throughout  our  earthly  life, 
Our  balm  in  sorrow,  and  our  stay  in  strife ; 
Then,  when  Thy  voice  shall  bid  our  conflict  cease, 
Call  us,  O  Lord,  to  Thine  eternal  peace.    Amen.

ODAY  of  rest  and  gladness, 
O  day  of  joy  and  light, 
O  balm  of  care  and  sadness, 

Most  beautiful,  most  bright; 
On  thee  the  high  and  lowly 
Before  th'  eternal  Throne 
Sing  Holy,  Holy,  Holy, 
To  the  great  Thkee  in  One. 

On  thee,  at  the  creation, 

The  light  first  had  its  birth ; 
On  thee  for  our  salvation 

Cueist  rose  from  depths  of  earth ; 
On  thee  our  Losn  victorious 

The  SpruiT  sent  from  heaven; 
And  thus  on  thee  most  glorious 

A  triple  light  was  given. 

Thou  art  a  cooling  fountain 
In  life's  dry  dreary  sand  ; 

From  thee,  like  Pisgiih's  mountain, 
We  view  our  promised  land  ;

A  day  of  sweet  refection, 

A  day  of  holy  love, 
A  day  of  resurrection

The  heavenly  Manna  falls, 
To  holy  convocations 

The  silver  trumpet  calls, 
"Where  Gospel-light  is  glowing 

With  pure  and  radiant  beams, 
And  living  water  flowing 

With  soul-refreshing  streams. 

New  graces  ever  gaining 

From  this  our  day  of  rest, 
"We  reach  th?  Rest,  remaining 

To  spirits  of  the  blest  ;

So  vile  I  am,  how  dare  I  hope  to  stand 

In  the  pure  glory  of  that  holy  land  ? 

Before  the  whiteness  of  that  Throne  appear  ? 

Yet  there  are  Hands  stretched  out  to  draw  me  near. 

The  while  I  fain  would  tread  the  heavenly  way, 
Evil  is  ever  with  me  day  by  day  ; 
Yet  on  mine  ears  the  gracious  tidings  fall, 
"Repent,  confess,  thou  shalt  be  loosed  from  alL" 

It  is  the  voice  of  Jf.sus  that  I  hear, 

His  are  the  Hands  stretched  out  to  draw  me  near, 

And  His  the  Blood  that  can  for  all  atone, 

And  set  me  faultless  there  before  the  Throne. 

'Twas  He  Who  found  me  on  the  deathly  wild, 
And  made  me  heir  of  heaven,  the  Fathfe's  child, 
And  day  by  day,  whereby  my  soul  may  live, 
Gives  me  His  grace  of  pardon,  and  will  give. 

O  great  Absolver,  grant  my  soul  may  wear 
The  lowliest  garb  of  penitence  and  prayer, 
That  in  the  Father's  courts  my  glorious  dress 
May  be  the  garment  of  Thy  righteousness. 

Yea,  Thou  wilt  answer  for  me,  Righteous  Lord: 
Thine  all  the  merits,  mine  the  great  reward  ; 
Thine  the  sharp  thorns,  and  mine  the  golden  crown, 
Mine  the  life  won,  and  Thine  the  life  laid  down. 

Naught  can  I  bring,  dear  Lord,  for  all  I  owe, 
Yet  let  my  full  heart  what  it  can  bestow  ; 
Like  Mary's  gift  let  my  devotion  prove, 
Forgiven  greatly,  how  I  greatly  love.     Amen,

OJESU  CHPwIST,  if  aught  there  be 
That,  more  than  all  beside, 
In  ever-painful  memory 

Must  in  my  heart  abide, 
It  is  that  deep  ingratitude 

Which  I  to  Thee  have  shewn, 
"Who  didst  for  me  in  tears  and  Blood 

Upon  the  Cross  atone. 
Alas,  how  with  my  actions  all 

Has  this  defect  entwined  ; 
How  has  it  poisoned  with  its  gall 

My  spirit,  heart,  and  mind  ! 


1  When  he  thought  thereon,  he  •wept,"' 

Alas,  through  this,  how  many  a  gem 

I"ve  rudely  cast  away. 
That  might  "have  formed  my  diadem 

In  everlasting  day  ! 
Yet  thong1!  the  time  be  past  and  gone, 

Though  little  mure  remains. 
Though  naught  is  all  that  can  be  done 

E'en  with  my  utmost  pains  ; 
Still  will  I  strive,  O  Saviour  mine, 

To  do  what  in  me  lies  ; 
For  never  did  Thy  glance  divine 

A  contrite  heart  despise.    Amen.

HOLY  Ghost,  Illuminator,

And  with  His  angelic  train, 
Summoning  the  world  to  judgment, 

On  the  clouds  will  come  again. 

Raise  us  up  from  earth  to  heaven, 

Give  us  wings  of  faith  and  love, 
Gales  of  holy  aspirations 
Wafting  us  to  realms  above ;

That,  with  hearts  and  minds  uplifted, 
We  with  Christ  our  Lord  may  dwell, 

Where  He  sits  enthroned  in  glory 
In  His  heavenly  Citadel. 

So  at  last,  when  He  appeareth, 

We  from  out  our  graves  may  spring, 
With  our  youth  renewed  like  eagles, 

Flocking  round  our  Heuvenly  King, 
Caught  up  on  the  clouds  of  heaven, 

And  may  meet  Him  in  the  air, 
Rise  to  realms  where  He  is  reigning, 

And  may  reign  for  ever  there.

"What  God's  Almighty  power  hath  made

The  Lord  is  never  far  away  ; 

But,  through  all  grief  distressing, 
An  ever-present  help  and  stay. 

Our  peace  and  joy  and  blessing  : 
As  with  a  mother's  tender  hand 
lie  leads  His  own.  His  chosen  band  ; 

To  God  all  praise  and  glory. 

When  every  earthly  hope  has  flown 
From  sorrow's  sons  and  daughters. 

Onr  Fatiiep.  from  His  heavenly  throne 
Beholds  the  troubled  waters  ; 

And  at  His  word  the  storm  is  stayed 

Which  made  His  children's  hearts  afraid  ; 
To  God  all  praise  and  glory. 

Thus  all  mv  toilsome  way  along 

I  sins:  alond  Thy  praises. 
Th  it  men  may  hoar  the  grateful  song 

My  voic3  unwearied  raises  : 
Be  joyful  in  the  Loan,  ray  heart:

To  God  ail  praise  and  glory.    Amen.

"Who  led  His  people  through  the  wilderness:  for  His  mercy  endureth  for  ever." 


0  PRAISE  our  great  and  gracious  Lord, 
And  call  upon  His  Name  ; 
To  strains  of  joy  tune  every  chord, 

His  mighty  acts  proclaim  ; 
Tell  how  He  led  His  chosen  race 

To  Canaan's  promised  land  ; 

Tell  how  His  covenant  of  grace 

Unchanged  shall  ever  stand. 

He  gave  the  shadowing  cloud  hy  day, 

The  moving  fire  by  night ; 
To  guide  His  Israel  on  their  way, 

He  made  their  darkness  light : 
And  have  not  we  a  sure  retreat, 

A  Saviour  ever  ni^h, 
The  same  clear  light  to  guide  our  feet, 

The  Day-spring  from  on  high  ? 


We,  too,  have  Manna  from  above, 

The  Bread  that  came  from  heaven ; 
To  us  the  same  kind  hand  of  love 

Has  living  waters  given  : 
A  Rock  have  we,  from  whence  the  spring 

In  rich  abundance  flows  ; 
That  Rock  is  Christ,  our  Priest,  our  King^ 

Who  life  and  health  bestows. 

O  may  we  prize  this  blessed  Food, 

And  trust  our  heavenly  Guide  ; 
So  shall  we  find  death's  fearful  flood 

Serene  as  Jordan's  tide, 
And  safely  reach  that  happy  shore, 

The  land  of  peace  and  rest, 
Where  ancrels  worship  and  adore 

In  God's  own  Presence  blest.    AmeE

M  Come  unto  Me,  all  ye  that  labour  and  are  heavy  laden,  and  I  will  give  you  rest" 


ART  thou  weary,  art  thou  languid, 
Art  thou  sore  distrest? 
41  Come  to  me,"  saith  One,  "  and  coming 

Be  at  rest!  " 
Hath  He  marks  to  lead  me  to  Him, 

If  He  be  my  guide  ? 
"In  His  Feet  and  Hands  are  Wound-prints, 

And  His  Side." 
Hath  He  Diadem  as  Monarch 

That  His  Brow  adorns? 
"Yea,  a  Crown,  in  very  surety, 
But  of  thorns.1' 


If  I  find  Him,  if  I  follow, 

What  His  guerdon  here  ? 
M  Many  a  sorrow,  many  a  labour, 
Many  a  tear." 

If  I  still  hold  closely  to  Him, 

What  hath  He  at  last  ? 
"  Sorrow  vanquished,  labour  ended, 
Jordan  past." 

If  I  ask  Him  to  receive  me, 

Will  He  say  me  nay  ? 
"  Not  till  earth,  and  not  till  heaven 
Pass  away." 


Finding,  following,  keeping,  struggling, 

Is  He  sure  to  bless? 
"  Angels,  Martyrs,  Prophets,  Virgins 
Answer,  Yes !  "     Amen.

FIERCE  raged  the  tempest  o'er  the  deep, 
Watch  did  Thine  anxious  servants  keep, 
But  Thou  wast  wrapped  in  guileless  sleep, 
Calm  and  still. 


"  Save,  Lord,  we  perish,"  was  their  cry, 
"  O  save  us  in  our  agony !  " 
Thy  word  above  the  storm  rose  high, 
"  Peace,  be  still.'1 

The  wild  winds  hushed  ;  the  angry  deep 
Sank,  like  a  little  child,  to  sleep; 
The  sullen  billows  cease  to  leap, 
At  Thy  will. 

So,  when  our  life  is  clouded  o'er, 
And  storm-winds  diilt  us  from  the  shore,

WHAT  various  hindrances  we  meet 
In  coming  to  the  Mercy-seat ; 
Yet  who,  that  knows  the  worth  of  prayer, 
But  wishes  to  be  often  there? 
Prayer  makes  the  darkened  cloud  withdraw, 
Prayer  climbs  the  ladder  Jacob  saw, 
Gives  exercise  to  faith  and  love, 
Brings  every  blessing  from  above. 
Restraining  prayer  we  cease  to  fight : 
Prayer  makes  the  Christian's  armour  bright; 
And  Satan  trembles  when  he  sees 
The  weakest  saint  upon  his  knees.

"  And  on  His  Head  "were  many  crowns." 


CROWX  Him  with  many  crowns, 
The  Lamb  upon  His  throne; 
Hark,  how  the  heavenly  anthem  drowns 
All  music  but  its  own  : 
Awake,  mv  soul,  and  sing 
Of  Him  Who  died  for  thee, 
And  hail  Him  as  thy  matchless  King 
Through  all  eternity. 

Crown  TTim  the  Virgin's  Son, 

The  God  Incarnate  born, 
Whose  arm  those  crimson  trophies  won 

Which  now  His  Brow  adorn: 

Fruit  of  the  mystic  Rose, 

As  of  that  Rose  the  Stem; 
The  Root  whence  mercy  ever  flows, 

The  Babe  of  Bethlehem. 

Crown  Him  the  Loud  of  Love: 

Behold  His  Hands  and  Side, 
Rich  Wounds  yet  visible  above 

In  beauty  'glorified : 
46 


No  angel  in  the  sky 
Can  fully  bear  that  sight, 
But  downward  bends  his  burning  ey« 
At  mysterits  so  bright. 

Crown  Him  the  L*>rd  of  Peace: 
Whose  power  a  sceptre  sways 

From  pole  to  pole,  that  wars  may  cease, 
And  all  be  prayer  and  praise: 
His  reign  shall  know  r.o  end, 
And  round  His  pierced  Feet 

Fair  flowers  of  Paradise  extend 
Their  fragrance  ever  sweet. 

Crown  Him  the  Lonn  of  years, 

The  Potentate  of  time, 
Creator  of  the  rolling  spheres, 

Ineffably  sublime. 

All  bail.  Redeemer,  hail! 

For  Thou  hast  died  for  me  ; 
Thy  praise  shall  never,  never  fail 

Throughout  eternity.     Amen.

Hymn  319. 


'  In  the  beginning  was  the  Wosd,  and  the  Woud  was  with  God,  and  the  Word 
■was  God.     All  things  were  made  bv  Him.'1 


JE?US  is  God:  the  solid  earth, 
The  ocean  broad  and  bright, 
The  countless  stars,  like  golden  dust, 

That  strew  the  skies  at  night. 
The  wheeling  storm,  the  dreadful  fire, 

The  pleasan*  wholesome  air, 
The  summer's  sun,  the  winter's  frost, 
His  own  creations  were. 


Jesus  is  God  :  the  glorious  bands 

Of  golden  angels  sing 
Songs  of  adoring  praise  to  Him, 

Their  Maker  and  their  Kir.--. 
He  was  true  God  i:i  Bethlehem's  crib, 

On  Calvary's  Cross  true  Gor>, 
He  Who  in  heaven  eternal  reigned 

In  time  on  earth  abode. 


Jesus  is  God  :  let  sorrow  come, 

And  pain,  and  every  ill. 
All  are  worth  while,  for  all  are  means 

His  glory  to  fulfil ; 
Worth  while  a  thousand  years  of  woe 

To  speak  one  little  word, 
If  by  that  "I  believe"  we  own 

The  Godhevd  of  our  Losd.     Amen.

Hymn  320. 


1  He  is  the  Head  of  the  Body,  the  Church." 


THE  Church's  one  foundation 
Is  Jkstjs  Christ  her  Lord; 
She  is  His  new  creation 

By  water  and  the  Word : 
From  heaven  He  came  and  sought  her 

To  be  His  holy  Bride, 
With  His  own  Blood  He  bought  her 
And  for  her  life  He  died. 

Elect  from  every  nation, 

Yet  one  o'er  all  the  earth, 
Her  charter  of  salvation 

O  le  Loud,  one  Faith,  one  Birth  ; 
One  Holy  Name  she  blesses, 

Partakes  one  Holy  Food, 
And  to  one  hope  she  presses 

With  every  grace  endued. 

Though  with  a  scornful  wonder 

Men  see  her  sore  opprest, 
By  schisms  reut  asunder, 

By  heresies  distrust, 
48 


Yet  saints  their  watch  are  keeping. 
Their  cry  goes  up,  "  How  long?" 

And  soon  the  night  of  weeping 
Shall  be  the  morn  of  song. 

Mid  toil,  and  tribulation, 

And  tumult  of  her  war, 
She  waits  the  consummation 

Of  peace  for  evermore  ; 
Till  with  the  vision  glorious 

Her  longing  eyes  are  blest, 
And  the  great  Church  victorious 

Shall  be  the  Church  at  rest 

Yet  she  on  earth  hath  union 

With  God  the  Three  in  Oxi, 
And  mystic  sweet  communion 

With  those  whose  rest  is  won: 
O  happy  ones  and  holy! 

Lord,  give  us  grace  that  we 
Like  them,  the  meek  and  lowly, 

On  high  may  dwell  with  Thee.   Amen.

'"^The*  the  morning  stars  sang  together,  and  all  the  sons  of  God  shouted  for  joy." 

STATES  of  the  morning,  so  gloriously  bright, 
Filled  -with  celestial  virtue  and  light, 
These  that,  where  night  never  followeth  day, 
Raise  the  "  Trisagion "'  *  ever  and  aye : 

These  are  Thy  ministers,  these  dost  Thou  owu, 
Lokd  God  of  Sabaoth,  nearest  Thy  throne  ; 
These  are  Thy  messengers,  these  dost  Thou  send, 
Help  of  the  helpless  ones  !  man  to  defend. 

These  keep  the  guard  amidst  Salem's  dear  bowers ; 
Thrones,  Principalities,  Virtues,  and  Powers; 
Where  with  the  Living  Ones,  mystical  Four, 
Cherubim,  Seraphim  bow  and.  adore. 

Then,  when  the  earth  was  first  poised  in  mid  space, 
Then,  when  the  planets  first  sped  on  their  race, 
Then,  when  were  ended  the  six  days"  employ 
Then  all  the  sons  of  Gon  shouted  fur  joy. 

Still  let  them  succour  us  :  still  let  them  fight, 
Lord  of  angelic  hosts,  battling  for  right ; 
Till,  where  their  anthems  they  ceaselessly  pour, 
"We  with  the  Angels  may  bow  and  adore.     Amen.

Hymn  322— (Fiest  Tom.) 


M  Eye  hath  not  seen  nor  ear  heard,  neither  have  entered  into  the  heart  of  man  the 
things  which  God  hath  prepared  for  them  that  love  Him.  But  God  hath 
reveled  them  unto  us  by  His  Spirit." 


LIGHTS  abode.  Celestial  Salem, 
Vision  whence  true  peace  doth  spring, 
Brighter  than  the  heart  can  fancy, 

Mansion  of  the  Highest  King; 
O  how  glorious  are  the  praises 
Which  of  thee  the  prophets  smg! 

There  for  ever  and  for  ever 

Alleluia  is  out-poured, 
For  unending,  for  unbroken 

Is  the  feast-day  of  the  Lord  ; 
All  is  pure,  and  all  is  holy 

That  within  thy  walls  is  stored. 

There  no  cloud  nor  passing  vapour 
Dims  the  brightness  of  the  air  ; 

Endless  noon-day   glorious  noon-day, 
From  the  Sun  of  suns  is  there  ; 
•  There  no  night  brings  rest  from  labour, 
I\r  unknown  are  toil  and  care. 


O  how  glorious  and  re^plendpnt, 
Fragile  body,  shalt  thou  be. 

When  endued  with  so  much  beauty, 
Full  of  health,  and  strong  and  free, 

Full  of  vigour,  full  of  pleasure 
That  shall  last  eternally! 

Now  with  gladness,  now  with  courage 
B^ar  the  burden  on  thee  laid, 

That  hereafter  these  thy  labours 
May  with  endless  gifts  be  paid, 

And  in  everlasting  glory 
Thou  with  brightness  be  arrayed. 

Laud  and  honour  to  the  Father, 
Laud  and  honour  to  the  Sox, 

Laud  and  honour  to  the  Spirit, 
Ever  Tira  and  ever  One, 

Consubstantial,  Co-eternal 
While  unending  ages  run.    Amen.

Ambushed  lies  the  evil  one  ;

Watch  and  pray.'" 

Hear  the  victors  who  overcame  ; 
Still  they  mark  each  warrior's  way; 
All  with  one  sweet  voice  exclaim 
'•  Watch  and  pray." 

Hear,  above  all,  hear  thy  Lord, 
Him  thou  lovest  to  obey; 
Hide  within  thy  heart  His  word, 
"  Watch  and  pray.11 

Watch,  as  if  on  that  alone 
Hung  the  issue  of  the  day  ; 
Pray,  that  help  may  be  sent  down  ; 
"  Watch  and  pray.'1    Amen. 


Hymn  327. 


TT"ITEX  wounded  sore  the  stricken  heart 
}  )     Lies  bleeding  and  unbound, 
One  only  Hand,  a  pierced  Hand, 
Can  salve  the  sinner's  wound. 


When  sorrow  swells  the  laden  breast, 
And  tears  of  anguish  flow. 

One  only  Heart,  a  broken  Heart, 
Can  feel  the  sinner's  woe. 

When  penitential  grief  has  wept 
Over  some  foul  dark  spot, 
56 


Lokd,  to  whom  shall  we  go  ? " 

One  only  Stream,  a  Stream  of  Blood, 
Can  wash  away  the  blot 

'Tis  Jesus'  Blood  that  washes  white, 
His  Hand  that  brings  relief, 

His  Heart  is  touched  with  all  our  joys, 
And  feds  for  all  our  grief. 


Lift  up  Thy  bleeding  Hand,  O  Losd, 
L'nseal  that  cleansing  tide  ; 

We  have  no  shelter  from  our  sin 
But  in  Thy  wounded  Side.    Amen.

SHEPHERD  Divine,  our  wants  relieve, 
In  this  our  evil  day  : 
To  all  Thy  tempted  followers  give 
The  power  to  watch  and  pray. 

Long  as  our  fiery  trials  last, 

Long  as  the  cross  we  bear, 
O  let  our  souls  o  1  Thee  be  cast 

In  never-ceasing  prayer. 

The  Spirit  of  interceding  grace 

Give  us  in  fairh  to  claim  ; 
To  wrestle  till  we  see  Thy  Face, 

And  know  Thy  hidden  Name, 


Till  Thou  Thy  perfect  love  impart, 

Till  Thou  Thyself  bestow, 
Be  this  the  cry  of  every  heart, 

"  I  will  not  let  Thee  go  : 

41 1  will  not  let  Thee  go,  unless 

Thou  tell  Thy  Name  to  me  ; 
With  all  Thy  great  salvation  bless, 

And  make  me  all  like  Thee. 

"Then  let  me  on  the  mountain-top 

Behold  Thy  open  Face  ; 
Where  faith  in  sight  is  swallowed  up, 

And  prayer  in  endless  praise."    Amen. 


"  O,  hold  Thou  up  my  goings  in  Thy 

BE  Thou  my  Guardian  and  my  Guide, 
And  he  ir  me  when  I  call  ; 
Let  not  my  slippery  footsteps  slide  ; 
And  hold  me  lost  I  fall. 

The  world,  the  flesh,  and  Satan  dwell 

Around  the  path  I  tread  ; 
0.  save  me  from  the  snares  of  hell, 

Tnou  Qaickener  of  the  dead. 

And  if  I  tempted  am  to  sin, 
And  outward  things  are  strong,

Do  Thou,  O  Lord,  keep  watch  within, 
And  save  my  soul  from  wrong. 

Still  let  me  ever  watch  and  pray, 

And  feel  that  I  am  frail  : 
That  if  the  tempter  cross  my  way, 

Yet  he  may  not  prevail. 

To  Fathkr,  Son*,  and  Halt  Ghost, 
The  God  Whom  we  adore, 

Be  glory,  as  it  was,  is  now, 
And  shall  be  evermore.    Amen.

O     Listen  whilst  we  sing, 
Hearts  and  voices  raising 

Praises  to  our  King.

All  we  yield  to  Thee, 
Nearer,  ever  nearer,

Deep  in  adoration 

Beading  low  the  knee  : 
Thou  for  our  redemption 

Camst  on  earth  to  die ; 
Thou,  that  we  might  follow, 

Hast  gone  up  oa  high. 

Great  and  ever  greater 

Are  Thy  mercies  here, 
True  and  everlasting 

Are  the  glories  there, 
"Where  no  pain,  or  sorrow,

Where  the  ange1  -legions 

Circle  round  Thy  throne. 
Dark  and  ever  darker

Tells  of  love  unfeumed, 

Love  that  never  die-s. 


Clearer  still  and  dearer 

Dawns  the  light  from  heaven, 
In  our  sadness  bringing

Life  has  lost  its  shadows, 

Pure  the  light  within  ; 
Thou  hast  shed  Thy  radiauco 

On  a  world  of  sia 
Brighter  still  and  brighter

Shedding  all  its  gladness

May  we.  Blessed  Savioub, 

Find  a  rest  at  last. 

Onward,  ever  onward, 

Journeying  o'er  the  road

Journeying  on  to  God  ;

When  we  feel  our  mortal  weakness, 
When  the  creature's  help  is  vain, 

By  Thy  mercy, 
0  deliver  us,  good  Lord. 

In  the  solemn  hour  of  dying, 
In  the  awful  judgment  day, 

Mav  our  souls,  on  Thee  relying, 
Find  Thee  still  our  Hope  and  Stay: 

Bv  Thy  mercy, 
0  deliver  us,  good  Lord.    Amen.

M  In  the  day  time  also  He  led  them  with  a  cloud,  and  all  the  ni^ht  through  with 
the  light  of  fire."  & 

LEAD,  Kindly  Light,  amid  the  encircling  gloom, 
Lead  Thou  me  on  ; 
The  night  is  dark,  and  I  am  far  from  home, 

Lead  Thou  me  on. 
Keep  Thou  my  feet ;  I  do  not  ask  to  see 
The  distant  scene  :  one  step  enough  for  me. 

I  was  not  ever  thus,  nor  prayed  that  Thou 

Shouldst  lead  me  on  ; 
I  lored  to  choose  and  see  my  path  ;  but  now 

Lead  Thou  me  on. 
I  loved  the  garish  day.  and.  spite  of  fears, 
Pride  ruled  my  will :  remember  not  past  years. 

So  long  Thv  power  ha^h  blest  me,  sure  it  still 

Will  lead  me  on 
O'er  moor  and  fen.  oVr  crag  and  torrent,  till 

The  night  is  gone, 
And  with  the  morn  those  angel  faces  smile 
Which  I  have  loved  long  since,  aud  lost  awhile.    Amen.

"  There  remaineth  a  rest  to  the  people  of  God." 

OWHAT  the  joy  and  the  glory  must  be, 
Those  endless  Sabbaths  the  blessed  ones  see; 
Crown  for  the  valiant,  to  weary  ones  rest ; 
God  shall  be  all  and  in  all  ever  blest. 

"What  are  the  Monarch.  His  court,  and  TTis  throne? 
What  are  the  peace,  and  the  joy  that  they  own? 
O.  that  the  blest  ones,  who  in  it  have  share, 
All  that  they  feel  could  as  fully  declare. 

Truly  Jerusalem  nam'1  we  that  shore, 

Vision  of  Peace,  that  brings  joy  evermore; 

"Wish  and  fulfilment  can  severed  be  ne'er, 

Nor  the  thing  prayed  for  come  short  of  the  prayer. 

There,  where  no  troubles  distraction  can  bring, 
We  the  sweet  anthems  of  Sion  shall  sing, 
While  for  Thy  grace,  Loud,  their  voices  of  praise 
Thy  blessed  people  eternally  raise. 

There  dawns  no  Sabbath,  no  Sabbath  is  o'er, 
Those  Sabbath-keepers  have  one  evermore; 
One  and  unending  is  that  triumph-song 
Which  to  the  angels  and  us  shall  belong. 

Now  in  the  meanwhile  with  hearts  raised  on  high, 
We  for  that  country  must  yearn  and  must  sigh; 
Seeking  Jerusalem,  dear  nntive  land. 
Through  our  long  exile  on  Babylon's  strand. 

Low  before  TTim  with  our  praises  we  fall. 
Op  Whom,  and  in  Whom,  and  through  Whom  are  all: 
Of  Whom,  the  Father  ;  and  in  Whom,  the  Sov; 
Through  Whom,  the  Spirit,  with  Them  ever  One.    Amen.

"  He  that  eateth  My  Flesh  and  drinketh  My  Blood  dwelleth  in  Me  and  I  in  him." 


OFOOD  that  weary  pilgrims  love, 
O  Bread  of  angel  hosts  above, 
O  Manna  of  the  saints, 
The  hungry  soul  would  feed  on  Thee  ; 
Ne'er  may  the  heart  unsolaced  be 
Which  for  Thy  sweetness  faints. 


O  Fount  of  love,  O  cleansing  Tide, 
Which  from  the  Saviour's  pierced  Side 

And  Sacred  Heart  dost  flow, 
Be  ours  to  drink  of  Thy  pure  rill, 
Which  only  can  our  spirits  fill 

And  all  we  need  bestow. 


Lotvd  Jestj,  Whom,  by  power  divine 
Now  hidden  'neath  the  outward  sign, 

We  worship  and  adore, 
Grant,  when  the  veil  away  is  rolled, 
Writh  open  face  we  may  behold 

Thyself  for  evermore.    Amen.

p  LAD  sight!  The  holy  Church 
VT  Spreads  forth  her  wings  of  love 
To  welcome  to  her  breast  a  child 
Begotten  from  above ; 

Begotten  at  the  font 
By  Gon  the  Spi hit's  power, 
A  gentle  lamb  from  Satan  snatched 
In  childhood's  helpless  hour. 

E'en  now  around  the  font, 
Unseen  by  mortal  eye, 
Bright  ministering  angels  watch 
The  wondrous  mystery. 


Hands  upon  them,  and  blessed  them." 

There  to  receive  their  charge 

In  readiness  I  hey  stand, 
And  long  to  guide  its  feeble  steps 

To  their  own  happy  land. 

And  all  the  host  of  heaven 

Rejoice  before  the  Lord, 
To  see  a  child  of  fallen  man 

A  child  of  God  restored. 

All  glory,  Lord,  to  Thee 

Whom  heaven  and  earth  adore; 
To  Father,  Son.  and  Holy  Ghost, 

One  God  for  evermore.     Amen.

Thou  therefore  endure  hardness  as  a  good  soldier  of  Jesus  Christ." 
But  'neath  His  banner  manfully 

Firm  at  Thy  post  remain  ; 
In  token  that  thou  too  shalt  tread 


JN  token  that  thou  shalt  not  fear 
Christ  crucified  to  own, 
We  print  the  Cross  upon  thee  here, 

And  stamp  thee  His  alone.

We  blazon  here  noon  thy  front

41  Then  laid  they  their  hands  on  them,  and  they  received  the  Holt  Ghost/ 

BEHOLD  us,  Lord,  before  Thee  met 
Whom  each  bright  Angel  serves  and  fears, 
Who  on  Thy  Throne  rememberest  yet 
Thy  spotless  Boyhood's  quiet  years 
Whose  feet  the  hills  of  Nazareth  trod, 
Who  art  true  Man  and  perfect  God. 

To  Thee  we  look,  in  Thee  confide, 

Our  help  is  in  Thine  own  dear  Kame ; 

For  who  on  Jf.sus  e'er  relied 

And  found  not  Jksus  still  the  same? 

Thus  far  Thy  love  our  souls  hath  brought, 

O  'stablish  well  what  Thou  hast  wrought 

From  Thee  was  our  baptismal  grace ; 
The  holy  seed  by  Thee  was  sown  ; 
And  now  before  our  Father's  face, 
We  make  the  three  great  vows  our  own, 
And  ask,  in  Thine  appointed  way, 
Confirm  us  in  Thy  grace  to-day. 

We  need  Thee  more  than  tongue  can  speak, 
'Mid  foes  that  well  might  cast  us  down ; 
But  thousands,  onee  as  young  and  weak, 
Have  fought  the  fi^ht,  and  won  the  crown 
We  ask  the  help  that  bore  them  through, 
We  trust  the  Faithful  and  the  True. 

So  bless  us  with  the  gift  complete 
By  hands  of  Thy  chief  pastors  given, 
That  awful  Presence  kind  a'id  sweet 
Which  comes  in  sevenfold  might  from  heaven; 
Eternal  Christ,  to  Thee  we  bow: 
Give  us  Thy  Spikit  here  and  now.     Amen.

Fruitful  let  Thy  sorrows  be  ;

Draw  the  Gentiles  unto  Thee: 
Of  Thy  Cross  the  wondrous  story,

"Turn  us,  O  God  our  Sayiouu.1' 

ALMIGHTY  God,  Whose  only  Son 
O'er  sin  and  death  the  triumph  won, 
And  ever  lives  to  intercede 
For  souls  who  Thy  sweet  mercy  need ; 

In  His  dear  Name  to  Thee  we  pray 
For  all  who  err  and  go  astray. 
For  sinners  wheresoeer  they  be, 
"Who  do  not  serve  and  honour  Thee. 

There  are  who  never  yet  have  heard 
The  tidings  of  Thy  blessC-d  Word, 
But  si  ill  in  heathen  darkness  dwell, 
Without  one  thought  of  heaven  or  hell ; 

And  some  within  Thy  sacred  Fold 
To  holv  things  are  dead  and  cold, 
And  waste  the  precious  hours  of  life 
In  selfish  ease,  or  toil,  or  strife  : 

And  manv  a  quickened  soul  within 
There  lurks  the  secret  love  of  sin  ; 
A  wayward  will,  or  anxious  fears, 
Or  lingering  taint  of  bygone  years  : 

O  give  repentance  true  and  deep 
To  all  Thy  lost  and  wandering  sheep, 
And  kindle  in  their  hearts  the  fire 
Of  holy  love  and  pure  desire. 

That  so  from  angel-hosts  above 

May  rise  a  sweeter  sons  of  lore. 

And  we,  with  all  the  blest,  adore 

Thy  Name,  0  God,  for  evermore.    Amen.

"  They  are  in  peace." 

TENDER  Shepherd,  Thou  hast  stilled 
Now  Thy  little  lamb's  brief  weeping: 
Ah,  how  peaceful,  pale,  and  mild, 
In  its  narrow  bed  'tis  sleeping, 
And  no  sigh  of  anguish  sore 
Heaves  that  little  bosom  more. 

In  this  world  of  care  and  pain, 

Loud,  Thou  wouldst  no  longer  leave  it; 
To  the  sunny,  heavenly  plain 

Thou  dost  now  with  joy  receive  it; 
Clothed  in  robes  of  spotless  white 
Now  it  dwells  with  Thee  in  light. 


Ah.  Losr>  Jrsr,  grant  that  we 

"Where  it  lives  may  soon  be  living, 
And  the  lovely  pastures  see 

That  its  heavenly  food  are  giving; 
Then  the  Grain  of  death  we  prove, 
Though  Thou  take  what  most  we  love. 


Amen.

"The  child  Jesus." 


ONCE  in  royal  David's  City 
Stood  a  lowly  cattle  shed, 
Where  a  mother  laid  her  Baby, 

In  a  manger  for  His  bed  : 
Mary  was  that  mother  mild, 
Jesus  Christ  her  little  Child. 

He  came  down  to  earth  from  heaven 

Who  is  God  and  Lord  of  all, 
And  His  shelter  was  a  stable, 

And  His  cradle  was  a  stall ; 
With  the  poor,  and  mean,  and  lowly, 
Lived  on  eartn  our  Saviour  Holy. 

And.  through  all  His  wondrous  childhood, 

He  would  honour,  and  obey. 
Love,  and  watch  the  lowly  maiden 

In  whose  gentle  arms  lie  lay  ; 
Christian  children  all  must  be 
^ld,  obedient,  good  as  He. 


For  He  is  our  childhood's  Pattern, 
Day  by  day  like  us  He  grew, 

He  was  little,  weak,  and  helpless, 
Tears  and  smiles  like  us  He  kneir; 

And  He  feeleth  for  our  sadness. 

And  He  shareth  in  our  gladness. 

And  our  eyes  at  last  shall  see  Him, 
Through  His  own  redeeming  love, 

For  that  Child  so  dear  and  gentle 
Is  our  Lord  in  heaven  above  ; 

And  He  leads  His  children  on

Hymn  362. 


"While  we  were  yet  sinners,  Ciirist  died  for  us.' 


THERE  is  a  green  hill  faraway, 
Without  a  city  wall, 

Where  the  dear  Lord  was  crucified 

Who  died  to  save  us  all. 
We  may  not  know,  we  cannot  tell 

What  pains  He  had  to  bear, 
But  we  believe  it  was  for  us 

He  hung  and  suffered  there. 
ne  died  that  we  might  be  forgiven, 

He  died  to  make  us  good, 


That  we  might  go  at  last  to  heaven, 

Saved  by  His  precious  Blood. 
There  was  no  other  good  enough 

To  pay  the  price  of  sin, 
He  only  could  unlock  the  gate 

Of  heaven,  and  let  us  in. 
O,  dearly,  dearly  has  He  loved, 

And  we  must  love  Him  too. 
And  trust  in  His  redeeming  Blood, 

And  try  His  works  to  do.     Amen.

41  If  thou  hast  little,  do  thy  dili

What  can  we  do  for  Jesus  sake 
Who  is  so  high  and  good  and  great? 
We  know  the  Holy  Innocents 
Laid  down  for  Him  their  infant  life, 
And  martyrs  brave  and  patient  saints 
Have  stood  for  Him  in  fire  and  strife. 
We  wear  the  cross  they  wore  of  old, 
Our  lips  have  learned  like  vows  to  make 
"We  need  not  die  ;  we  cannot  fight ; 
What  may  we  do  for  Jesus  sake  ? 
O,  day  by  day,  each  Christian  child 
Has  much  to  do,  without,  within; 
A  death  to  die  for  Jesus  sake, 
A  weary  war  to  wage  with  sin.

When  deep  within  our  swelling  hearts 
The  thoughts  of  pride  and  anger  rise, 
When  bitter  words  are  on  our  tongues 
And  tears  of  passion  in  our  eyes  ; 
Then  we  may  stay  the  angry  blow, 
Then  we  may  check  the  hasty  word, 
Give  gentle  answers  back  again, 
And  fight  a  battle  for  our  Loiii). 
With  smiles  of  p?ace,  and  looks  of  lover 
Light  in  our  dwellings  we  may  make, 
Bid  kind  good  humour  brighten  there. 
And  do  ail  still  for  Jesu's  sake. 

There's  not  a  child  so  small  and  weak 
But  has  his  little  cross  to  take, 
His  little  work  of  love  and  praise 
That  he  may  do  for  Je6u's  sake,    Ame*

For  of  man  and  all  creation 

Thou  alike  art  Lord  alone.

Who.  not  loss,  man's  sufferings  share  : 
For  our  sius  it  is  they  perish  ;

Up  toward  Thy  Seat  of  Mercy. 
From  Thy  people's  hearts  forlorn  : 

For  the  widow,  for  the  orphan. 

For  the  helpless,  hornless  poor  : 
H  foless   hop*  less,  if  Thou  spare  not 

Of  their  basket  and  their  store. 
So — while  these  her  earnest  accents 

Day  by  day  Thy  Church  repeats, — 
That  our  sheep  may  bring  forth  thousands' 

And  ten  thousands  in  our  streets  ; 

That  our  nx^n.  strong  to  1-ibonr, 

May  not  know  nor  fear  decav: 
That^ there  he  no  more  complaining. 

And  the  plague  have  passed  away. 
And,  at  last,  to  all  Thy  servants, 

When  earth's  troubles  shall  he  o'er, 
Threefold  Godhead,  give  a  portion 

With  Thyself  for  evermore.    Anita

LET  our  Choir  new  anthems  raise 
Wake  the  song  of  gladness  ; 
Gon  Himself  to  joy  and  praise 
Turns  the  martyrs'  sadness  : 
Bright  the  day  that  won  their  crown, 

Opened  heaven's  bright  portal, 
As  they  laid  the  mortal  down 
To  put  on  th'  immortal.

From  the  torture  never  ; 
Vain  the  foeman's  sharpest  aim,

Decked  in  all  its  glory, 
Where  triumphant  now  they  stand 

With  the  victor's  story.

And,  easting  other  hopes  away, 
Took  Thee  to  b*  her  God,  her  All. 
To  Thee  she  yielded  up  her  will. 
Her  heart  was  drawn  to  Thine  above  ; 
Content  if  Thou  would'st  deign  to  fill 
Thine  handmaid  with  Thy  perfect  love. 
Beneath  Thy  Cross  she  loved  to  stand,

For  virgin-martyrs  stored  on  high, 
And  lvady  keep'her  lamp  at  •  ight 
To  hail  the  Bridegroom  drawing  i.igh. 
And  surely  Thou  at  last  didst  coma 
To  end  tiie  sorrows  of  Thy  bride, 
And  bear  her  to  Thy  peaceful  home 
With  Thee  for  ever  to  abide. 
All  glory,  Jesu,  for  the  grace 
That  drew  Thy  saint  to  follow  Thee; 
Grant  us,  too,  in  Thy  love  a  place 
Both  now  and  through  eternity.    Amen.

"Be  strong  and  of  a  good  courage  .  .  .  And  the  Lord,  He  it  is  that  doth  go 
before  thee." 

ONWARD,  Christian  soldiers, 
Marching  as  to  war, 
"With  the  Cross  of  Jesus 

Going  on  before. 
Ciikist  the  Royal  M aster 

Lead 8  against  the  foe, 
Forward  into  battb-, 
See,  His  banners  go. 

Onward,  Christian  soldiers, 

Marching  as  to  war, 
"With  the  Cross  of  Jkjjus 
Going  on  before. 

At  the  sign  of  triumph 

Satan's  host  doth  flee; 
On,  then,  Christian  soldiers, 

On  to  victory. 
Hell's  foundations  quiver 

At  the  shout  of  praise; 
Brothers,  lift  your  voices, 

Loud  your  anthems  raise. 
Onward,  *fca 

Like  a  mighty  army 

Moves  the  Church  of  God; 
Brothers,  we  are  treading 

Where  the  saints  have  trod; 
"We  are  not  divided, 

All  one  body  we, 
One  in  hope,  and  doctrine, 

One  in  charity. 

Onward,  &c. 

Crowns  and  thrones  may  perish* 

Kingdoms  rise  and  wane, 
But  the  Church  of  Jksus 

Constant  will  remain ; 
Gates  of  hell  can  never 

'Gainst  that  Church  prevail; 
"We  have  Christ's  own  promise, 

And  that  cannot  fail. 
Onward,  &c. 

Onward,  then,  ye  people, 
Join  our  happy  throng, 
Blend  with  ours  your  voices, 

In  the  triumph  song; 
Glory,  laud,  and  honour, 
Unto  Chris  f  the  King, 
This  through  countless  ages 
Men  and  Angels  sing. 

Onward.  Christian  soldiers, 

Marching  as  to  war, 
With  the  Cross  of  Jesus 
Going  on  before.     Amen.

11 1  have  prayed  for  thee,  that  thy  faith  fail  not. 


IN  the  hour  of  trial, 
J i Air !  plead  for  me, 
Lest,  by  base  denial, 

1  depart  from  Thee  ; 
Wh:»n  Thou  seest  me  waver, 

With  a  look  recall, 
Nor.  for  fear  or  favour, 
Suffer  me  to  fall. 


Wifh  forbidden  pleasures 

Would  this  vain  world  charm, 
Or  its  sordid  treasures 

Spread,  to  work  me  harm; 
Bring  to  my  remembrance 

Sad  G-ethsem  ine. 
Or.  in  darker  semblance, 

Cross-crowned  Calvary. 


If  with  sore  affliction, 

Thou  in  love  chastise, 
Pour  Thy  benediction 

On  the  sacrifice ; 
Thim  upon  Thine  altar. 

Freely  offered  up. 
Though  the  flesh  may  falter, 

Faith  shall  drink  the  cup. 


Whpn,  in  du~t  and  ashes, 

To  the  grave  I  sink, 
While  Heaven's  glory  fl\6heB 

O'er  the  shelving  brink: 
On  Thy  truth  relyi  ig, 

Through  that  mortal  strife, 
Loan,  receive  me,  dying, 

To  eternal  Life.    Amen.

On  the  earth' or  in  the  deep.

14  The  Lord  is  my  Shepherd.'* 

THE  Loan  my  pasture  shall  prepare-, 
And  feed  me  with  a  shepherd1 1  care  ; 
Hi3  presence  shall  my  wants  supply, 
And  guard  me  with  a  w.ttchful  eye  ; 
My  noon-day  walks  He  shall  attend, 
And  all  my  midnight  hours  defeud. 

"When  in  the  sultry  glebe  I  faint, 
Or  on  the  thirsty  mountain  pant. 
To  fertile  vales,  and  dewy  meads, 
My  weary  wandering  steps  He  leads : 
"Where  peaceful  riv  -rs,  soft  and  slow, 
Amidst  the  Verdant  landscape  flow. 

Though  in  the  path  of  death  I  tread, 

With  gloomy  horrors  overspread  ; 

My  stedfast  heart  shall  fear  no  ill, 

For  Thou,  O  LftftD,  art  with  me  still ; 

Thy  rod  and  staff  shall  give  me  aid, 

And  guide  me  through  the  dreadful  shade.    Amen.

1  Tbou  shalt  see  the  Land  before  thee.' 


THERE  is  a  Land  of  pure  delight, 
Where  Saints  immort  :1  reign, 
Eterpal  d  iy  excludes  the  night, 
And  pleasures  baJUh  p.rin. 

Th<»re  everlasting  spring  abides, 
And  n.ver-witheri  g  flowers; 

Death,  like  a  narrow  sea,  divides 
This  heavenly  land  from  ours. 

Swept  fi  'ids  beyond  the  swelling  flood 
St  ind  dr.*sse1  in  living  greei : 

So  ro  the  Jews  old  Canaan  stood, 
While  Jordan  rolled  between. 

120 


O  !  could  we  make  our  doubts  remove, 
Those  gloomy  doubts  that  rise, 

And  see  the  Canaan  that  we  love, 
With  unbeclouded  eyes  ; 

Coul  1  we  but  climb  where  Moses  stood, 

And  view  the  Ian  Iscipe  o'er; 
N  >t  Jordan's  stream.  n->t  death's  cold  flood, 

Should  fright  us  from  the  shore. 

O  praise  the  Father,  praise  the  Sont, 

The  Lamb  for  sinners  given, 
And  Holy  Ghost,  through  Whom  alone 

Our  hearts  are  raised  to  Heaven. 

Amen.
